winter greetings

2022 really made me    s  l  o  w     d  o  w  n   and it has been nice to continue with slowness into this new year. Even with my insistence on taking it slowly, last year went in a blur, thankfully with some sweet moments to savor; spending time with dear friends and their new child in Hawai'i; returning to a favorite childhood place (Wallowa Lake); exploring the prairie near Mount Adams; getting to see my brother and sister-in-law again after three years; and miles and miles of walks in Oregon, Hawai'i, Washington, England and Paris!

This year I look forward to a return to performing more -which begins this weekend as I am an ensemble member of Extradition's Corner festival celebrating experimental, new music composer Philip Corner- and continuing my studies in Alexander technique, Gyrotonic and Barral's visceral and neural manipulation.

I have quietly opened my schedule to new clients. For insurance, I am only in-network with Regence BlueCross BlueShield (and all of their subsidiaries) and am not currently accepting any new out-of-network insurance clients.

I'm in the clinic Sundays, Monday afternoons, and Thursday late afternoons. My online schedule is up-to-date and showing openings up to 6 weeks from now: https://deepgroundmassagebodywork.fullslate.com

I also want to pass along some referrals to great body workers, if you're wanting to try something new:

• Kim Legler, LMT works from her gorgeous home studio in Milwaukie and practices traditional Swedish deep tissue massage and is a certified esthetician.
  
• Daniel Addy, LMT is an attentive listener who combines Structural Integration and Thai-mat work focusing on body rehabilitation from his home studio in NE Portland.
• Linda K Johnson is a Contemporary Alexander technique teacher, who has a vast knowledge of the body and its systems working from her home studio in SE Portland.
• And here at the clinic, Malia Susee, LAc is our talented in-house acupuncturist, Lori Krampetz, LMT is a skilled Visceral and Neural Manipulation practitioner, and Valerie Lyon, LMT is a brilliant energy worker and Visceral Manipulation practitioner.

We still require masks in the clinic and ask you to stay home if you are not feeling well. We continue to be in an amorphous stage of pandemic, and I appreciate you all helping me to continue to keep this community clinic healthy.

I look forward to our work together and wish you all abundance in 2023.
